Bottle-Cap Jewelry

She painted 50 Coke bottle caps, put magnets on them to decorate her locker. She liked them so much she decided to turn them into necklaces so she could take them anywhere with her.

With the help of mom, Diane, she withdrew $300 she had saved up from birthdays, Christmases and the tooth fairy, and went out to buy supplies. She took about 50 of the necklaces, called “Snap Caps,” to the local toy store, and they sold out in a few hours.

She made her first million by age 13. Today, Snap Caps are a must-have for tween girls. The company,m3 girl designs, has 40 employees and sells over 60,000 necklaces per month in over 2,500 stores. They also make Snap Cap hair bows and Snap Cap “Huggers” to decorate your Ugg boots.

The Trampoline

• “George Nissen was a member of his high school gymnastics and diving teams, was goofing off in his parents’ garage when he decided to stretch canvas over a rectangular steel frame, using materials he found in a local junkyard.

• Seven years later when he was in business school at the University of Iowa, he and his gymnastics coach refined the invention with nylon and started a traveling acrobatics troupe called the Three Leonardos.”
